This client advisory area combines functionality with a warm, welcoming aesthetic. A featured leafy green planter sits prominently on the curved, Modulo Arc curved limed timber panelling by Screenwood in NavUrban Albany Oak, a light limed finish, bringing a natural element to the space. Positioned atop the flush circular inlay flatweave recessed carpet, the pod's design is set up to be approachable, easy to use, and ideal for client interactions.

The white ergonomic mesh-back Zinn chair provides comfort, while a potted plant adds a lively accent to the desk. Behind the advisory desks, a white wall with subtle 3-D texturing beautifully contrasts with the deep navy blue of the surrounding walls, creating an elegant backdrop.

The ceiling’s light tone with wooden beams and an orange-red pendant light further enhances the ambiance. With the added greenery, this client advisory area feels fresh and inviting, fostering a comfortable and professional environment for clients. Fully adjustable Zinn gas lift task chairs and Thinking Works Okidoki custom upholstered customer chairs by Infinity Commercial Furniture.
